McCann Moore Architects

We completed an extension and full renovation in 2023. Sean was excellent throughout, from initial consultation through to the final finish. There were a couple of difficult periods with the builder and Sean was very relaxed and firm, helping us to navigate through. We are in the house 6 months now and the space is great, good light and works well for our family. Would recommend.

Sean was great to deal with from day one. Always available and nothing was ever a problem. He guided us from initial drawings to tender to project completion. We were very happy with the service provided.

We recently completed a major downstairs renovation in our home. From our initial first conversations with Sean right through to the final inspection, he was great to work with. We are delighted with the design, execution and service that he provided. Both he and the builders worked really well together which resulted in creating a wonderful open plan kitchen/ living area that we love spending time in & even better is how it is seamlessly linked to our outdoor space. This project took approximately 4 months from start to finish.

We recently completed a renovation project in Blackrock, Co Dublin with Sean McCann. Sean listened to our brief and redesigned the layout of our 1960’s bungalow. A number of design features Seán incorporated have become our favourite features in our new home, in particular our open plan kitchen/living area and our new entrance porch area. We found Seán great to work with and we’re very happy with with the design, execution and level of service.

My wife and I lived in our 1950's built home for two years with our two children (now three!) before undertaking our project. Seán at McCann Moore designed and guided us through the extension and refurbishment of our family home. Seán's design maximised the light available from our north facing garden, and even though the area of the garden was reduced due to the extension, the orientation of Seán's design made the outdoor space much more functional with the addition of a patio at floor level, forming a smooth transition from inside to out. We are really looking forward to enjoying this feature more next Summer. Clever internal tweaks such as the stairs location and changing the first floor from a split level to a single level has benefited both the ground and first floor space. We even got a spacious en-suite added to the master bedroom, while losing some space from the next bedroom the installation of a fitted wardrobe in otherwise inefficient space has made the change minimal. The services Seán provided included completing our planning permission and detailed design, coordinating the structural engineer, acting as PSDP and completing onsite inspections during the works. Seán clearly laid out his fee structure allowing us to accurately estimate the professional services element of our budget. Seán's open and relaxed style allowed us to input significantly into the design while guiding us to his overall vision for our new space. The pitched extension ceiling/roof has created a dramatic transition form the kitchen dining area to the new living space creating an open plan area that we are delighted with. I would highly recommend McCann Moore, and have already done so, to my sister who is hoping to undertake a project in 2020. Thank you Seán and the team at McCann Moore.

Contacting Seán and Paul at McCann Moore Architects about our renovation and extension project was the best decision we made. First and foremost, they delivered 100% on the design brief. We loved their design and, from the moment we saw it, it was clear that they understood exactly what we wanted. They treated our budget like it was their own and included innovative & stylish finishing touches whilst being mindful of material costs. We really appreciated this sensibility. Seán and Paul also project managed our build which helped us immensely and they ensured that the entire project ran according to the agreed schedule. A standout trait that we loved is that Seán and Paul’s communication throughout was second to none - we always felt that our project had their full attention. They were also extremely generous with their time, which we appreciated greatly. In addition, they designed, supplied and fitted our Nolte kitchen which we absolutely adore and couldn’t be happier with. Finally, one of the best things about Seán and Paul is that they are such lovely guys and a real pleasure to work with. Every day we pinch ourselves when we walk in our front door because we are so happy to live here. Thank you so much guys, we love our home and it is all down to you!

McCann Moore are your go to architects. Their personalised service and design credentials are second to none. Their design flare and ‘thinking outside the box ‘ perspective give outstanding results. Would highly recommend !

Sean designed our extension. He has a really good sense of modern design, and he also has great communication skills. During each stage of the design process, he accommodated our needs into a modern and spacious design. Of course, he also guided us with various options and choices. I should address his professionalism when making our initial proposal go ahead when it was rejected by the council at first. I was very impressed by the way Sean dealt with the matter with the council providing a strong and clear justification with relevant examples as evidence. Sean is not only an excellent architect designer but also an excellent project supervisor. I highly recommend!

McCann & Moore provided excellent advice and service on a building project at our home. As clients we were delighted with their professionalism and attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.

We engaged Sean McCann to redesign our kitchen/dining area. Our brief was to introduce light into a dull dining area and to incorporate an old conservatory in the new look kitchen. Sean visited us out of hours as we are a working family and at once demonstrated his propensity for innovative design by suggesting a solution which had never occurred to us. The outcome is a kitchen, which is loved and used by the whole family, straight out of a glossy magazine found in waiting rooms for very expensive lawyers. I don't need to see another one. Ours is perfection. Thank you.

Having bought a large unfinished house that needed a significant amount of work including a new kitchen, new bathrooms, flooring, underfloor heating, lighting, walls being moved around etc, Mccann and Moore took on the task and did a superb job. The finished house is a joy and we are delighted with it. They were very professional, had great ideas, super easy to get on and always available to meet on site or on the phone to answer any questions or fix any issues. They liaised with the building firm and contractors. We have recommended them to any of our friends looking for a good architect. Any future work we undertake such as extensions, refurbs etc we will go to them. Alex and Michael Doran, Malone, Belfast.

We hired McCann Moore Architects to design a family friendly contemporary home and we couldn't be happier with their design. They really listened and understood what we wanted and what we needed for our lifestyle and put shape and practicality to our ideas while also introducing us to new concepts. Their communication was excellent, always willing to meet, receive a call or answer an email, which is always a comfort at a daunting time. They were also very accurate with their proposed deadlines. We would highly recommend Paul and Sean at McCann Moore Architects.

We engaged Paul Moore to redesign our kitchen and dining area. Our brief was to introduce light into the kitchen, and make better use of our small utility room. From day one Paul demonstrated his passion for design. His overall solution delivered exactly what we asked for in terms of design and function. His clever design has given us the contemporary kitchen of our dreams.

Paul has drawn up an excellent design for our new house which meets the needs of our family. He is very easy to work with, has a collaborative style and is always responsivet to any changes we make. He also presents new ideas which challenge you to think about new aspects to your home.

I have had the pleasure of working in tandem with McCann Moore on a number of projects over the years relating to both new builds and renovations. I have found their team highly professional, organised, and straight forward to deal with. They offer a bespoke and very customer focused service to their clients and my company has been involved in providing specialist aspects on their projects such as Audio-Visual, lighting control and automated blinds /curtains. I would recommend them without hesitation to those requiring architectural services. Keith McConnell Bang & Olufsen of Belfast.

McCann Moore designed and project managed my extension, their attention to detail was out of this world and everything went really smoothly. Very well priced also. Highly recommended

McCann Moore recently did some plans for us and we were delighted with the scheme they came up with. They took into account all aspects of our lives and after exploring many ideas with us, created an impressive design achievable within our budget. They gave advice on all aspects of the property and we would highly recommend them for all projects.

I have worked with McCann Moore Architects on two projects now over the last 5 years. I have found them very professional and have been happy in both cases both with the design and follow up. Any issues were addressed quickly and resolved. I'd be very happy to recommend them for any size of project.

We knocked on a local residents door to ask who had designed their house and we found our architect! We loved Pauls work even before we met him! Right from the start, Paul was very easy to work with. We had found a site but he encouraged us to view a different one and it was the best decision ever. ( shame about the builder , lol!! ) We had a very simple brief.We wanted a modern build with lots of light, and with a tight budget, Paul designed us our dream home, on a small site.He got us right from the start! He even built us a model of the house. We very quickly trusted Paul and when he suggested we make some modifications , we knew it was for the right reasons.He was quick to pull us back from costly requests. House building can be very stressful but Paul was able to contain a lot of that stress. We would certainly recommend McCann Moore - a pleasure to work with, very relaxed and brilliant designers!

McCann Moore helped us to realise our dream of extending and modernising our family home throughout. They assisted us in engaging and managing professional contractors to deliver the project on our behalf, providing a turnkey service for the required budget. Pauls attention to detail is excellent, he listened to our ideas and provided his own, without which the final result would have been greatly diminished. A thoroughly excellent architectural and project management practice for all sizes of projects
